Again, it's a total waste of money if they do not plan on constructing a roster that can win the division in 2014.

That doesn't make any sense, it's not like money saved in 2014 will be earmarked for some magical date down the line when people think the Sox will be good enough to compete again, frankly, this team already has one of the better pitching staffs in the American League, the Sox need to find the pieces to be competent offensively and they can very competitive soon.

The 2012 team had an Expected W-L of 88-74 with a worse pitching staff that the 2013 team did.
